SUMMARY:Citizen Oil: How Oil Lobbyists Are Hiding Behind the Maple Leaf to Protect Their Profits & Delay Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Stand.Eearth’s Tzeporah Berman, the conversation will focus on how Big Oil flexes it political muscles to block meaningful climate action in Canada and what we can do about it.\nAs panellists Gordon Laxer and Tim Wood have extensively documented, the oil and gas industry does much more than just dispatch lobbyists to Parliament Hill. In recent years, major oil companies have invested heavily in building up pro-oil citizens’ front groups while allying with sympathetic politicians and journalists to attack environmentalists as illegitimate, “foreign-funded,” and “un-Canadian.”\nIn the process, they are trying to twist the very definition of Canadian national identity around extractivist interests, with echoes that could be heard in the “Freedom Convoy.” But behind all of their furious flag-waving, Big Oil lobbyists are hiding a dirty secret: the industry itself is overwhelmingly foreign-owned.\nOrganized by the Council of Canadians and Stand.Earth\nThursday September 15\n4-5:30pm PT / 5-6:30pm MT / 6-7:30pm CT / 7-8:30pm ET / 8-9:30pm AT / 8:30-10pm NT\n
